Bought a dyson handheld the other day for the motor....was only £104 new, I also bought the car cleaning accessory pack.

But I can't say how good it is yet as I don't get my new motor till the beginning of march, I did think about using it on my wife's aygo but then thort against it... :grin:

Henry all the way mate, it's portable, sucks like biatch and is near on bullet proof and can be had for under £100.

By all means get the one you linked but I can see that being a ballache moving round the car with it, the storage looks good but do you need that and would you use it with stuff in it?
I can see it falling over alot.
Just my opinion though, Henry on his own is the nuts anyway, I've owned mine for 10+yrs and he's hoovered a lot of cars without fault, highly recommended.

Got a hand held dyson animal and it's really good. Only downside is battery doesn't last long.

Did look at the handheld's...think the battery running low all the time would be a pain... :angry:

How long we talking? Last an hour? Would you really be doing more than an hour of solid cleaning with it?
